The story of the kind Mo, who wanted to be a real monster

Some time agoI was looking forsomeone who wanted tostartwith mea joint project. I wanted tocrochetan Amigurumiandwas looking for atalentedstorywriter,whowould love towritea children’s story for the doll.

Andas chance would have it,a blog caught my attention. Isaw therewitty Amigurumiandblogger,Doris,wrotesofunny and entertainingthat Ilaughed out loudwhen I read her stories. I enjoyed all her well written articles.That wasexactly whatI was looking for! So I asked her–andDoriswanted to participate.

Iam very gratefulfor her spontaneity,her time andher talent, she put into this project!!! You can visit her nice blog (German) here: Reboka Regenbogenkaktus–or you can also meet her onFacebook.

We started:Ipainted twomonsters(you can see the very firstdesigns on the left and right side) crocheted andunraveledandDoriswroteandworked meticulouslyon thestory.

The result isa wonderfultale ofthe monsterMo, which isactually muchtoo prettyfor the monsterworld.Mowants to lookscaryandbe just aswildandbadasthe other monsters.Ashe does not succeedand is thereforeverysad, he meetsMia, which isalsonot a typicalmonster girl. Miawants to helpMoandasks him:

“How can you do something that you think is not right?”(This isa question thatwe cansometimesask ourselves♥)

There aretwo people, whichI am also very grateful: Nic: She edited the English versionvery wellandbrought the monsters to life. ThomasKalitsaris: He sketchedmanybeautiful picturesforthe story. You can copy the pictureshere, they are nice for coloring.

I wasalsobusy. First Icrocheted Miaand then the little monsterMo.One dayRobertAppelboom(his brilliantwebsite🙁2000 Free Amigurumi Patterns)asked me, ifI have apattern for an Amigurumi book, he planned to publish – of course I had andMiafound her way intothe book“Fun and EasyAmigurumi“!

Would you like to meet Mia? Well, todayit’s exciting! Here you can seethe monstergirlMiafrom the book:

And here is Mia on my sofa!She looked at mewith a loving gazeandasked meif she couldinviteher friend. Honestly,who could resist her?

So I calledNina, my girlfriend, and askedher, ifher monster-girl Lea wouldlike to visitmyMia. Of course she wanted (they are best friends)!Theyspent a wonderfulandrelaxing afternoon together. Later, whenher friend Leawas gone, the doorbell rangagain.

And whowas standing there?Do you know him?Sure, that’sMo! He wantedto visit Miato talk about the latestgossip.

“HeyMia, I‘ve heard that you’refamous now…they said your photo is in a book.” Miagiggled,“Yes, look here, that’s me!She showed himthe book. “Wow, you’re afashion model!!!“marveledMo. Miawanted totell himthatthis is actually aAmigurumi-Pattern, but then she thought that the explanation would be too complicated. She just laughed, “Yes, as you can see,I have the most curvaceousbodyofMonsterworld! Hi, hi 🙂

They laughed and joked until it waslate and then Mowent back to the monsterworld.

Phew,this was areallylongpost, andthank youthat you are still here and read this, because now I have a surprise for you: Inmy next postI give you the pattern forMo.And it is totally free!

What a wonderful idea – I look forward to seeing Mia’s pattern 🙂
I, too, have written a children’s story, about an alien, rather than a monster, but hadn’t thought of translating it into crochet – well done you for being able to do that 🙂

Now that sounds great 🙂
Unfortunately, I’ve been waiting for my daughter to draw the pictures I want for my story, but she’s so busy, she still hasn’t made a start – but the story itself is complete.
We’ll have to organise me sending it to you – maybe you’ll have some ideas, as I think it would lend itself to crochet work 🙂

Hello again, do you want me to crochet something for your story? And is it possible, that I can read it? Would be great to have an crocheted Alien with a story 🙂 If you want you can send it to k.godinez@gmx.de
Thanks and best regards, Karin

Wow, this is huge!!! Not only have you made the most adorable monsters in the world, but they also have their own cartoon and one is even featured in a book! This is sooo cool and such a wonderful achievement – you are so creative! My sister is an illustrator, and I’m also hoping to create patterns related to her future children’s books ^_^ It’s so much fun to have cute little stories to go along with the amigurumi

It’s so much fun to write a children’s story, your creativity and imagination has no limits. This time the story comes from Doris, she is such a great talent and I’m so glad that she let me publish her story.
And if you have also make an Amigurumi that goes with the story, you will make a lot of kids very happy. I wish you and your sister good luck with your project!
